Coburn's official visit to Taiwan
Senator Coburn traveled to Taiwan for an official visit with their government to listen to their concerns in regard to their growing isolation due to the influence of the People’s Republic of China.
Taiwan is a great friend to the United States, and we need to support this rising democracy. Taiwan is a beacon of freedom in Asia, and is far ahead of some other nations in the region in fighting corruption, eliminating counterfeiting and intellectual property violations, and cooperating in efforts to fight terrorism.
Dr. Coburn discussed the need to support Taiwan’s request for top of the line fighter aircraft to maintain the balance of power in the face of the rapid buildup of threat missiles and aircraft from the People’s Republic of China.
Taiwan faces a growing threat from a double digit Chinese military buildup and it remains our responsibility to ensure that they have the military equipment necessary to counter that threat.
